The Virginia Department of Transportation’s Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project is a public-private partnership that promises to add express lanes on Interstate 66, rebuild major interchanges on roadways carrying traffic to I-66, expand pedestrian/bicycle trails, and create thousands of new park-and-ride spaces.

VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) has announced their commissioner has decided to fund the I-66 Outside the Beltway improvement project via a private partnership between VDOT and private sector investors.

The Prince William Conservation Alliance is opposing a VDOT Park & Ride lot tentatively planned for the Haymarket section of the county’s Rural Crescent, but VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) says it is not a done deal.

The Virginia Department of Transportation and Department of Rail and Public Transportation is looking for public input on several aspects of the I-66 Outside the Beltway Project, which proposes improvements from Route 15 in Haymarket to I-495, two express or high occupancy toll and three regular lanes in each direction and high-frequency bus service in the express lanes.
